Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them Child 1 - I liked picking up the rubbish and cleaning up our school.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Oil container and lots of metal pieces. These were not dropped by children but adults within the school.

“This was such a great learning experience for all tamariki. We didn't organise an off-site clean-up, we spent a couple of weeks collecting and sorting rubbish from our school environment. This was a really powerful experience as we found over 100 wrappers in our school playground. By investigating the streams and rivers close to our kura, the children clearly saw how this rubbish could end up in the waterways. We presented our findings to the school to inspire others to clean up the school as well, which two classes then did. I loved the posters that came with the kit as these were such great visuals. This kit also led to discussions around waste in lunchboxes and how to minimise this. Children were keen to use the gloves in their own neighbourhood to continue to collect rubbish to prevent it from ending up in our waterways.”
